Darryl Ouvremonde #2

The second volume of Darryl Ouvremonde arrives from Glénat with a cover that draws you straight into its steampunk-inflected world — a determined young figure clutches a glowing orb at center stage, surrounded by shadowy vignettes hinting at mysterious locations and other faces watching from the edges. Writers Rémi Guérin and artist Krystel bathe the composition in cool teal tones punctuated by that warm burst of light, giving the whole thing an atmospheric tension that feels both intimate and expansive. If the first volume left you curious, this 2021 continuation looks ready to pull you deeper into whatever doors Darryl is opening.
